Please join Deputy Fire Cheif Willie Bailey, Firefighter & Freinds to the Rescue, and the Fairfax County Fire & Rescue Department as they raise funds for their Spring Shoe Fundraiser. Donations will provide brand new, athletic-style shoes to local children in need this spring.
When you donate to provide a brand-new pair of shoes, it gives children the confidence to socialize, succeed, and hope for a brighter future. During the Winter, Operation Warm also provides over 4000 new coats every year to deserving families. They take care of the kids from head to toe.
Over the past 23 years, Operation Warm has served over 4.5 million children across North America. In our communities, nearly one in five children live in need. For their families, paying for food, housing, heat, and healthcare takes priority, meaning many children have to go without proper clothing items needed to stay healthy and active.
Operation Warm is a nonprofit, GuideStar Platinum-rated 501(c)(3). Over 95¢ of every $1 goes directly to their programs.
